Rutland / Robert John Woolley. born KETTON c1882 - Baptism Lookup - REALLY need help!
« on: Tuesday 03 January 12 19:42 GMT (UK)  »
Hey guys wonder if theres a fellow forum member who might be able to help me.

I'm trying to work back the family of ROBERT JOHN WOOLLEY b.March Qtr 1882 Ketton.  Spent the majority of his career in the Lincolnshire Regt.

I'm having real dificulty confirming his parents.  The information I recieved from my friend (whose family it is) was that he had a sister called Minnie - that has now been confirmed to have been AGNES MINTO(?) WOOLLEY, born c 1877 Kenton.  There are at least a couple of families in the area at the time - one of which seems to have been traced quite extensively.....and then there's this one!

I'd be so so grateful if someone had access to parish records for the period and could carry out a quick check for me?

In the 1891 census he's staying with his Grandfather FRANCIS WOOLLEY (b 1825-d1900), his 'sister is there too - Agnes, now known as Minnie...

ANY help would be of such help.

Thanks all, really keeping my fingers crossed on this one...

Warwickshire / Can Anyone Help check some newspapers?

This is a real longshot I know, but I'm keeping everything crossed that someone might be able to help.

I have recently discovered that my GG Grandmother - Maria Guiseppa MIELE - after leaving my GG Grandfather and their son in North Devon, moved to Birmingham in c.1910 where she married Salvatore TRESIGNI in 1916 - mysteriously, she REMARRIED him in 1947.

It has now come to light that in the mid 1940's Maria was tried for (possibly) attempted murder.  I'm wondering if this is why, in 1947, she remarried (after it was discovered her original marriage to Salvatore was null due to the fact she was already married to my GG Grandfather).


I'm really hoping one of you guys will have a little time to trawl through the Birmingham Newspapers and try and find anything regarding the trial of Maria.  Yes, I know, a REALLY big ask, especially considering I dont have a specific date, but, like I said, I'm keeping everything crossed.

Now, I'd imagine that she would have been tried under the name of TRESIGNI - her 'married' name, although her 1947 marriage carries the surnames RAIMO (my GG Grandfathers surname) DYMOND (the anglisised name my GG Grandfather took) and TRESIGNI!

I'll leave it there for now - if anyone does feel they can take on the challenge I'd be truly grateful...

Devon / MIELE's of Barnstaple
« on: Friday 20 May 11 09:55 BST (UK)  »
My GG Grandmother was MARIA GIUSEPPA MIELE - (b.1887 Cassino, Italy) daughter of Antonio and Benadetta Miele.  Her mother and father appear to have come to the Uk in the last years of the 1890's along with Antonionos two brothers - Pasquale and Fillipo.

All were originally street organ players in the Barnstaple/North Devon area, although Antonio seems to have travelled a little further (at least to Truro).

Maria married Giachiono RAIMO in 1905 (she was 16 he was 33!).  Having one son (my G Grandfather in 1907) the family then moved to Holsworthy before Maria left the family and moved to Birmingham where she began a new life - but that's another story!

I'm trying to locate ANY ancestors of Antonio and Benadetta or of his two brothers (there was a post on here in 2006 but it seems to be dead).

Keeping my fingers crossed.....
